From TamsinP: 15mm Kra'Vak Adolescents (72 points)



A few weeks ago I presented the first part of my Kra'Vak force and mentioned that the original sculpts could be used to represent adolescent Kra'Vak troops. Well, here are a small contingent of those pesky kids!

The Infantry






The Cavalry


Whilst adult Kra'Vak might be regarded (by humans at least) as complete lunatics, even they aren't lunatic enough to considering riding the warbeasts. They leave that to the even more lunatic adolescents.




I did mention that they are somewhat smaller, so here's a side-by-side pic to show the difference:



The new sculpts are about 20mm to top of head; the original sculpts are 15mm to top of head. Quite a difference.


Anyway, onto the scoring:

24 x 15mm foot @ 2 = 48 points
6 x 15mm mounted @ 4 = 24 points
Total = 72 points

I do have a couple of vehicles primed for them, but will probably leave those until after the Challenge to paint as I have a few more that are waiting to be assembled.

And don't worry - this will not be my last submission!

Geez. Riding their warbeasts without helmets, playing their crazy music too loud...  Kids these days, eh! 

Very cool entry Tamsin. Just like the the adults you did-up several weeks ago, I like the colour scheme you came up with for these Kra'Vak - the purple and green looks very sharp. 

72 points for your final climb to your target. Well done Tamsin!

From TamsinP - 15mm Kra'Vak (226 points)




Continuing down the SciFi rabbit hole, but this time in 15mm, my second post today is the beginning of a Kra'Vak force for Gruntz (and other SF games).

The Kra'Vak are an alien race (obviously) in the "Tuffleyverse" as it is affectionately known by fans of GZG's rules. All the figures in this post are from the recent resculpts of the range which are larger than the original Kra'Vak figures. As Jon Tuffley has noted, the smaller early sculpts could easily be used as the adolescent kra'Vak troops, and the new sculpts as the adult warriors. As well as size, adolescents can be distinguished from adults by the cast of their skin and "hair" tendrils which are reddish rather than green.. And their lunatic behaviour on the battlefield.

So, on with the pics of which there are a lot!


Hunting Beasts and Handlers




Scouts on Grav Bikes





Power Armour Troops





Heavy K-Cannon Teams




Missile Launcher Teams




Grav Mortar Teams




Infantry Platoon with Missile Launchers





Infantry Platoon with Heavy K-Rifles








As mentioned before, all the figures are 15mm from Ground Zero games.

Onto the scoring:
84 foot plus 9 beasts @ 2 = 186 points
6 crew-served weapons @ 4 = 24 points
4 grav bikes (cavalry) @ 4 = 16 points
Total = 226 points

I do have some more Kra'Vak to paint, which might appear later in the Challenge.



Fantastic entry Tamsin, these are a treat to look at. You must have steady hands because these are beautifully crisp and clean making the colours really pop. The figures look nicely detailed which must have made them a joy to paint.
